While BB&T Corp. Chairman and CEO Kelly King’s base salary remained constant in 2017, he received a $1.01 million bump in compensation through stock awards to ultimately increase his pay 9.1% in 2017 versus a year earlier. According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission , King earned $12.67 million in compensation for the 2017 financial year, up from $11.61 million in 2016. King’s base salary of $1.075 million is identical to his 2016 salary. The disclosure of King's pay was part of a routine securities filing, but comes on the heels of a major technology glitch that interrupted services for bank customers and led to sharp criticism of BB&T leadership over its handling of the situation.
